Incorporation of S.L. Companies

This is why having legal counsel before establishing and registering a company in Spain is essential.
At SGM Abogados, we offer a team of professionals with specialized training and experience, ready to help you set up your company in Spain.
Once established, you will have access to a tax expert, with whom we collaborate, to ensure your company stays compliant with all fiscal obligations.
